iMad version 1.0

Hi everyone, after such a long time.. I'm back again!

Well, in case anyone hasn't noticed (if you haven't then you're really blind.. you shouldn't even be using the computer!! turn it off.. NOW!!), our new blogskin is up!! iMad v1 is up and running.. took me about 3 weeks to get this up.. in case you do need orientation, the navigation links are below where the icons are.. and you can select which skin to apply using the 2 thumbnails over at the top right. I must say I am impressed with this skin... even though I would be even more impressed if I was doing it with an actual Mac.. hahaha =P anyway, Andrew showed me this really cool iMac blogsite... so perhaps version 2 will implement that.. but that's like talk for another day.. maybe month.. hahaha =P

work's been busy, that's why I haven't been blogging at all... having to keep killing program bugs that come out.. and I'm also starting work on a newer project.. so I'm handling 2 at the moment.. but going to drop the 1st one already... should have done a better job with that one.

Nothing much goes on.. work is tiring.. well I still got Min to go out with! heehee.. =) we went to watch Sahara on Tuesday. I must say it is an entertaining show!!! Well worth watching.. to us at least!! its got action, comedy, romance (just a teeny weeny bit), adventure all rolled into a nice package... though the intro did throw me off a little bit... yeah go watch it! I've got so much more movies on my list.. but so little time... Be Cool, Pacifier, Interpreter, Coach Carter, Guess Who... ahh.. one movie a week is not enough!! hahahaha....

okay .. back to work.. why am i slacking??!! so much to do...

Beautiful Morning!

I felt a great sense of relief that very moment I dropped my assignment into my tutor's mailbox. Great. That one-week of torture was harsh enough for me to bear. maybe bec i was so stressed up that i fell ill? With my files being corrupted after 3 hours of intensive typing I was totally at lost what to do next. Forgot most of my pointers. All my hard work gone in seconds. I should have back up my files in more locations! I know my natural reaction was to whine, but apparently I felt this sense of peace as I tell myself, "nevermind, let's do it again". God's so amazing!! Not only did I had time for fellowship wif my former BSmates over the weekend: praying for one another. i also managed complete my work in time, in fact i wrote even more than my previous! And thanks for the support dear =)


Sunday message was great. Lessons drawn from Judges 6:11-29 how God used Gideon to deliver his people from the Midianites. Of all wonders u have heard or read, He is still with us, thus Go in Strength. Went up for prayers & the pastor says, "rise up woman of faith"....it's assuring to hear once again, that God never abandon His children, in fact He has so much to offer.


"What has happened were moments to thank God for but as for today, ask for his Presence to be so conscious in ur life." Speak miracles into your life and look forward for beautiful days ahead this week!! =)

Dreaming

I want to dream again. No more night mares please. I want to go through the journey of a dream. Give myself a place. Under a breezy shade, giggles and children playing, flowers, lake, big comfy sofas, a pot of rose buds tea or Irish malt, by the side of a pool or on a float.. no meetings, no schedules, no dressing up to go anywhere, just endless days. My secret place, a place where my dream unfurl.

I wish to give my dreams a voice. Dreaming and letting go -- just giving myself a chance to 'stop'. I want to find a special certain place just like a place where Jacob had a dream and built an alter. He declared it not just only The House of God, but also the gate of Heaven. I want to dream with colours and creativity. I want to paint my world with His Love, I want to learn to love His people and love myself. I want to surrender the things i can't handle. I want to experience fruitful and great triumph of being in God's dreamworld. I want to catch every of these dream and make it a reality.

~~Min~~
